Plant steroid hormones, brassinosteroids (BRs), are of great importance for plant growth and development. BRs signal through a cell surface receptor kinase, BRI1, GSK3-like BIN2, to regulate the BES1/BZR1 family transcription factors, which directly bind target gene promoters activate or repress expression mediate BR responses. To understand how BES1 regulates expression, we identified two BES1-interacting proteins, ELF6 (early flowering 6) its homolog REF6 (relative early 6), both Jumonji...
